KING SoLoMoN's DIAMOND MINES. -
Julian Hawthorn, who ought to be q
good Judge, says Of n. Rider Haggard's
story Of .King Solomon's Mines, !"
There is no story Of adventure that

popular verdict. Everybody Is reading
it OF talking about It. OF course there
are no end Of editions published, from
cloth bound at $3.50 to the seaside III
brary edition at 10 cents. And, as
might be expected, the cheapest Of all
IS Literary Revolution edition which In
large type, unabridged, sells for scents
in paper covers, Or 70 cents In cloth
binding. Specimen chapters are sent
free to anyone asking for them. + is q
source Of amazement to look through
one of the Revolution 64-page cata-
logues (sent free to any applicant), and
note the literary riches to be secured
almost " for a song" If you have
never seen catalogue, OF have seen
none recently, It IS worth while ito write

ordinary bargains are offered during the
summer months. Address John B. AL

thousand men, women and chill
dren at the depot to meet Colonel
Simmons. They were there with a
chariot drawn by milk white steeds,
they were there with horns, cymbals
and a bass drum; the vociferous
demonstration and the roar of the
cannons, stationed in the grove
near by, were so gerat that Mucca'
lee trembled beneath her banks at
the riplication of the sounds made
in her concave shores. Hundreds
of alligators were jared to death
and the Baby Railroad was almost

day for Sumter inasmuch as she

What is the use IN spending
s'eepless nights on account of the
waywardness of the Georgia Legis-
lature: 1t is true that the boys in
the legislature are a heavy expense
to the State and are drawing per
diems that might be disposed of,
but they are clever set ana are
furnishing amusement to the peo-
pie of Atlanta, md newspaper SEN
sations for the people throughout
the state.
If the people must be amused,
why not let the legislature have
the job at s25, 90 per day. This Is
very reasonable and the great State
Of Georgia is able to stand it. 1t
is true that the money spent in
foolish legislation and blackguard
speeches would keep several hund>
red poor children at school, but
the people want amusement and
would much prefer to spend few
hundred dollars to know that the
gentleman from Sumter was like a
pug dog. or that the gentleman
from Barlow was like a Shiny snail.
You ask what good a "tarrapin
bill" is to this portion of the state,
where, not even, Sinking Jim"
can be found. ALL my son, not
much, not much; but you have no
idea what fun it was to hear the
humorous speech made by the gen.
tleman from Hall, on the tarrapin.
All of the Statesmen and the gale,
ries were convulsed with laughter
at the poetry gotten up on Smiths
tarrapin bill. The people like fun
and must have it, they care not
what the expense may be.
To-day, the tobacco bill will be
taken up and discussed. This bill
prohibits the selling or furnishing
of tobacco in any shape or form to
children under 10 years of age.
don't know how much time will be
spent on this bill, but if it should
be passed, il would not amount to
a row of pins. It would have a
tendency to make boys dishonest
and rebellious. They would have
tobacco, then, whether or no. II
they could not get it la any other
way they could get the negroes to
buy it for them.
Don't let your heart be troubled
because the legislature sees fit tc
spend a month striking out and
amending the Code. Remember
that the Code is an important mem
Der in the family of every farmer
OF this country, but it needs cor
recting aud will need the same
amount in the year 2001 as it does
now.
No my son let's not trouble The
legislature, the boys have gone t.
Atlanta to stay until frost and they
will do it Notwithstanding the kick
ing of the people.
